I'm not sure the forewing pattern matches P. dapsilis, but the head and palps look distinctly Scoparia-like to me.

I don't. Moths in this set are from China and Kenya, as well as Australia. The image that came up in your link appears to have Chinese characters, apart from the numerals on it's label. I understand it could still be from Australia. The first white bands on the forewing of the 2 BOLD moths is much further in from the termen and has a distinct narrowing about 1/2 way along it. Above moth has 1st pale band much closer to the termen with no narrowing and a couple of spots near the forewing apex. The hind wings do not compare. 1 Bold moth has rounded termen on forewing above moth it is straight.
